A Traveler From Hell (Genshin Impact X Female Alastor Reader)

Chapter 65

"Qiqi wants to carry that." Qiqi stated as she pointed towards the head of a deer that Xiao was holding.

"I can carry it. You can hold onto the chalks. You might even be uncomfortable with the smell of blood." Xiao replied as he adjusted his hold on the deer's head, being mindful of the antlers while they continue to head back where Zhongli is waiting for them. Droplets of blood coming out of the head as it leaves a trail behind the two.

"Mother already smells like blood and is also a deer. Qiqi misses mother. Qiqi will carry head." Qiqi persisted as she blankly stared at Xiao, making the male sweat drop.

"Your logic is somewhat idiotic. Yes, (Y/N) is somewhat a deer but won't it be like you're literally holding her head if you were to carry this?" Xiao exclaimed, watching Qiqi sulk in response as they quietly went back to the area where Zhongli awaits them.

"Ah, you're back. I take it that you both have the rest of the items?" Zhongli asked as he looked over his shoulder to glance at Xiao and Qiqi before returning his gaze back to the notes you left in Qiqi's notebook.

"Yes. It was simple finding a deer and killing it. But why do we need its head?" Xiao asked as he watched Qiqi hand Zhongli the box of chalks.

"It's part of the ritual needed to help (Y/N). It is stated here from the notes she left to little Qiqi that we need to perform a ritual to open the portal to the demon realm, or in other terms, Hell." Zhongli explained as he grabbed a chalk and began to draw a large summoning circle on the ground with an inverted pentagram in the middle.

"What is the plan then?" Xiao asked as he placed the deer's head in the center of the circle while Qiqi lit up the candles on all the pointed ends of the pentagram.

"The plan is that we will be retrieving (Y/N) back. I would like for Qiqi to stay behind and make sure the portal stays open while you and I search for (Y/N)." Zhongli informed.

"For all my years of existence and serving Celestia, never have I been to the demon realm. I am not so sure if my powers are enough to keep us safe in a different place but I will try my best to ensure that our journey will go smoothly." he added, glancing towards the adeptus beside him.

"I will do my best. I may have known (Y/N) for only a short period of time but I will help her in any way I can." Xiao exclaimed, placing a hand on his chest as he gave Zhongli a determined look. The two males felt someone tug at the end of their pants as they looked behind them to see Qiqi.

"Please save mother.. Qiqi wants to be with mother." Qiqi stated, making both males' eyes softened before nodding in response.

"The last thing we need for the ritual is a mix of (Y/N)'s blood along with ours since we are going to hell and find her there." Zhongli said, his eyes widening in shock before glancing back at his companions.

"We don't have any of her blood." Zhongli stated, making Xiao and Qiqi stiffen in shock. Shaking his head, Xiao looked around until his eyes landed on Qiqi's small bag laying beside a boulder.

"There has to be. If (Y/N) left that note then she has to have left a clue or item behind which can help us." Xiao exclaimed as he made his way over to the bag and began to investigate its contents.

"Did (Y/N) gave anything to either of you?" Zhongli asked as he looked at the adeptus and the zombie child.

Xiao remembered the time when you made him jambalaya, the thought alone made heat rise up to his cheeks. The adeptus cleared his throat and shyly looked away from Zhongli's gaze, knowing that the food you gave him has now been digested in his stomach.
